Compared with the old model, not only the number of widths has been reduced from 2 to 1, but the price has also increased by 6500 yuan, and the improvement is that the mileage has increased from the previous 265 kilometers to 325 kilometers, an increase of 60 kilometers, which translates to 108 yuan for each additional kilometer.
In terms of appearance, the new car continues the design style of the old Audi Q2L e-tron, and has not been greatly adjusted, and the front face adopts the Audi e-tron pure electric family fully enclosed integrated front grille, equipped with e-tron exclusive hykra gray trim and high-brightness black grille color matching, which is much more refined than the old model.

The body side styling is based on the consistency with the current model, and the overall continuation of the low-lying posture, only some details have been adjusted to make the new car more in line with the identity of the pure electric model. For example, the C-pillar position area adopts a bright silver color scheme, and the old model is blackened, so that the new car has the visual effect of a suspended roof. In terms of size, the new car has a length, width and height of 4286/1785/1454mm, and a wheelbase of 2628mm.
The rear of the body, the whole has not changed much, is still a very full and rounded style, the body line is more, with a certain sense of layering. The biggest difference is the chrome shape on the rear bumper, which is designed to echo the polygonal ring trim on the front face.
In terms of interior, the naked eye can not see any changes, the overall layout design is consistent with the old model, compared with the latest design of the Audi family is a bit old-fashioned. It is equipped with an 8.3-inch suspension touch screen, a 12.3-inch Audi virtual cockpit, a three-panel multi-function steering wheel and a relatively stout mechanical gear.
However, in order to highlight the atmosphere of pure electric vehicles, the new car is equipped with audi pure electric models exclusive dynamic double stitching design, and equipped with sports seats, made of black Milleno leather and Alcatana material combination, as well as dragon orange contrasting ribbons, the sense of luxury is also significantly improved.
There is no change in the configuration, and it is equipped with 6 airbags, tire pressure alarm, active braking, front and rear radar, reversing image, automatic parking, electric sunroof, electric trunk, front row keyless entry, battery preheating, Apple CarPlay mobile phone interconnection, 10-color mood lights and automatic air conditioning. In addition, there are optional driver assistance systems, power seats, seat heating, SONOS audio, and rear side privacy glass.
In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with an EBD drive motor with a maximum power of 100 kW (136 hp) and a maximum torque of 290 Nm, and the power parameters will be the same as those of the old model. In terms of batteries, the new car is equipped with a ternary lithium-ion battery pack with a capacity of 44.1 kWh, an increase of 4.4 kWh compared to the old model, and the NEDC's cruising range has increased from 265 km to 325 km.

In addition, the new car is equipped with a fixed gearbox with a fixed gear ratio and the B gear can be used to adjust the kinetic energy recovery force.
In short, the biggest improvement of the new Audi Q2L e-tron is the endurance, but the endurance performance of only 325 kilometers is obviously failed in 2021, and it is still a model priced at 243,800, and it is difficult to find a model with such a small range at the same price. However, the Audi Q2L e-tron is also one of the few pure electric models of 200,000-300,000 yuan luxury brands, and it is also a good choice for consumers who pay attention to the brand and want to buy an electric car.
Of course, the ideal is very good, the reality is very backbone, Audi Q2L e-tron this year's cumulative sales of only 3749 vehicles in January to November this year, not as high as Tesla Model Y sales in a week, and even more tragically, only 3 vehicles were sold in November, which is still based on a preferential 78,000 yuan. In this way, in the field of electric vehicle market, cost performance and product strength are the most important priorities for consumers, and traditional luxury brands want to make a breakthrough, they should not follow the sales strategy of fuel vehicles, but strive to enhance product competitiveness.
